Leavenworth lifters finish in fashion

In early April, the Leavenworth powerlifting team made its third appearance in as many years at the 30th Annual NASA High School National Powerlifting Championships.

At that competition, the Pioneers brought home more team championships than ever before. The girls' team won national titles in power press, for the third straight year, and junior/senior powerlifting.

Runner-up team trophies were awarded to the girls in the freshman/sophomore class and for overall powerlifting.
